No unauthorized person shall uncover, make any connection with
or opening into, use, alter, or disturb any public sewer or appurtenance
thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Superintendent.
No person shall discharge or cause to be discharged any storm
cooling water or unpolluted industrial waters to any sanitary sewer.
Swimming pool drains shall not be connected to any sanitary sewer.
A. There shall be two classes of sewer lateral permits:
(1)
For residential, commercial, and institutional service;
(2)
For service to establishments producing industrial wastes.
B. In either case, a permit application shall be submitted to the Superintendent.
The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications,
or other information considered pertinent, in the judgment of the
Superintendent. A fee, for residential, commercial, institutional
and industrial users, in accordance with the fee schedule as established
by the Village Board, shall accompany the application.
C. Connections to existing manholes shall be made as directed by the
Superintendent.
A. A separate and independent building lateral shall be provided for
every building requiring sanitary facilities. When, however, there
is a building behind a front building, the second building may use
the front building's building lateral, if there is no other way
to provide sanitary service to the back building, subject to the provisions
of § 605.
B. New street laterals and/or building laterals shall not go under building
basements. In like fashion, a building shall not be constructed over
an existing lateral; the lateral shall be relocated after the Superintendent
has approved plans showing the relocation. If relocation is not physically
possible then the lateral shall be:
(1)
Exposed and totally encapsulated in not less than three inches
of concrete; or
(2)
Exposed and walled and the building rooms above positively ventilated
outdoors.
C. All existing manholes in or under the basement shall be sealed airtight
in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent. No new manholes shall
be constructed on the portion of the lateral under the building.
When building laterals are to serve multiple dwelling structures,
the building lateral shall be sized in accordance with the metered
water use and with sound professional engineering judgment and proper
easements or agreements shall be in place between owners of buildings
served by a single lateral.
Where a lateral sewer is to serve a complex of industrial, commercial,
institutional, or dwelling structures, special design of the building
lateral system shall be required. Such lateral sewer shall be connected
to the public sewer through a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine
if and where this connection to the public sewer is required. If required,
a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to § 1402
and the lateral connection made and tested as directed by the Superintendent.
Plans and specifications shall be prepared and submitted for approval
pursuant to this chapter.
Dry sewers shall be designed and installed in accordance with
this chapter.
Existing building laterals may be used in connection with new
buildings only when they are found, upon examination by the Superintendent,
to meet all requirements of this chapter.
Pipe materials for new building and street laterals, or replacement
of existing building and street laterals, shall be in accordance with
the Development Regulations.
A. Connections to a new sewer shall be made in accordance with the Development
Regulations.
B. Connections to an existing sewer shall be made in accordance with
the Development Regulations.
C. The inside diameter of the fittings shall be same diameter as the
street lateral inside diameter.
The street lateral shall be connected to the main sewer at the
time of constructing the main sewer, for each proposed lot for either
immediate or future development. Laterals installed for future development
shall be fitted a standard plug approved for use by the Superintendent.
All sewer connections shall be via a properly installed saddle on
the main sewer pipe. No portion of the lateral pipe shall protrude
into the main sewer pipe. The location of all lateral connections
shall be field marked in accordance with the Development Regulations.
The location of all lateral connections shall be indicated on a drawing
with a minimum of three tie lines indicated. One hard copy and one
electronic of this drawing, showing the as-built location of these
connections, shall be furnished to the Superintendent. Electronic
format of as-built drawings shall be compatible with the Village's
electronic mapping and imagery management software.
When any street lateral is to serve a school, hospital, or similar
institution, or public housing, or is to serve a complex of industrial
or commercial buildings, or which, in the opinion of the Superintendent,
will receive wastewater or industrial wastes of such volume or character
that frequent maintenance of said building or street lateral is anticipated,
then such street lateral shall be connected to the public sewer through
a manhole. The Superintendent shall determine if and where this type
of connection to the public sewer is required. Connections to existing
manholes shall be made as directed by the Superintendent. If required,
a new manhole shall be installed in the public sewer pursuant to local
requirements, and the lateral connection made thereto as directed
by the Superintendent.
A. Building laterals laid parallel to a bearing wall shall not be installed
closer than three feet to such wall. In new construction, the building
lateral shall enter the basement through the basement wall no less
than 12 inches above the basement floor. In no event shall any building
lateral be placed below the basement floor, except with the express
written approval of the Superintendent.
(1)
In the event of lateral replacement, the new building lateral
may enter the basement at such an elevation as to maintain gravity
service to the existing internal plumbing, unless as otherwise required
or directed by the Superintendent.
B. The building lateral shall be laid at uniform grade and in straight
alignment insofar as possible. Changes in direction shall be made
only with properly curved pipe and fittings. Changes of direction
of 90° or greater shall be made with a cleanout which extends
to grade, terminating in a terminal box set in concrete. In building
laterals, said cleanouts shall be provided such that the maximum distance
between cleanouts is 75 feet. The ends of all building or street laterals,
which are not connected to the interior plumbing of the building,
for any reason, shall be sealed against infiltration by a suitable
stopper, plug, or by other approved means.
In all buildings in which any building drain is too low to permit
gravity flow to the public sewer, wastewater carried by such drain
shall be lifted by mechanical means and discharged to the building
lateral, on approval of the Superintendent.
All excavations required for the installation of a building
or street lateral shall be open trench work unless otherwise approved
by the Superintendent. Pipe laying and backfilling, regardless of
pipe material used, shall be performed in accordance with the Development
Regulations.
All joints and connections shall be made watertight.
Push joints shall be in accordance with the Development Regulations.
A. The connection of the building lateral to an existing street lateral
shall be made at the property line. Except as provided under § 502,
if a street lateral has not previously been provided, the street lateral
will be constructed from the existing public sewer to the property
line by the Village, or designated representative, at the owner's
expense. The street lateral shall be installed with a properly sealed
and covered cleanout to grade located at the property line.
B. The cost of constructing the street lateral from the existing public
sewer to the property line shall be at the property owner's expense;
all subsequent costs and expense incidental to the installation and
connection of the building lateral shall also be borne by the owner.
C. The property owner shall indemnify the Village from any loss or damage
that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation
of the building lateral.
D. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain,
repair, or replace the building lateral, as needed.
E. The method of connection of the building lateral to the street lateral
will be dependent upon the type of sewer pipe material, and, in all
cases, shall be approved by the Superintendent. After installation
of the street lateral has been approved by the Superintendent, the
new street lateral shall become the property of the Village. Any subsequent
repairs to the new street laterals shall be made by the Village at
the Village's expense.
If, in the judgment of the Superintendent, it is determined
that a building lateral, without a property line cleanout, needs repair
or replacement, the Village may install a cleanout at the property
line, at the property owner's expense, such that the street lateral
can be maintained independently of the building lateral.
Any existing street lateral which, upon examination by the Superintendent,
is determined to be in need of replacement will be replaced with a
new street lateral with a property line cleanout. The replacement
street lateral shall be constructed by the Village, or designated
representative, at the property owner's expense. Once the replacement
street lateral and cleanout have been constructed and approved by
the Superintendent, the new street lateral shall become the property
of the Village. Any repairs to new street laterals shall be made by
the Village at the Village's expense.
A. As a result of the replacement or consolidation of existing street
lateral(s), the abandoned piping shall be removed, isolated and/or
disconnected in a manner acceptable to the Superintendent, at the
property owner's expense.
The street lateral, building lateral, or the combined lateral
shall be tested for infiltration/exfiltration by:
A. Any full pipe method described in § 507; or
B. By a suitable joint method, with the prior written approval of the
Superintendent.
The applicant for the building lateral permit shall notify the
Superintendent when the building lateral is ready for inspection and
connection is to be made to the street lateral. The connection shall
be made under the supervision of the Superintendent.
When trenches are excavated for the laying of building lateral
pipes or for laying of street lateral pipes, such trenches shall be
inspected by the Superintendent. Before the trenches are backfilled,
the person performing such work shall notify the Superintendent when
the laying of the building lateral is completed, and no backfilling
of trenches shall begin until approval is obtained from the Superintendent.
All excavations for constructing building laterals shall be
adequately protected with barricades and lights so as to protect the
public from hazard. Streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other public
property disturbed, in the course of the work, shall be restored in
a manner satisfactory to the Superintendent. When installation requires
disturbance of paved public roads and shoulders, restoration shall
involve backfilling to road grade. Shortly thereafter the Village
shall complete road and shoulder restoration to the standards applicable
to the public road affected. The cost for such final road and shoulder
restoration by the Village shall be included with the fees paid with
the application for the permit required in § 603.
A. An interior cleanout fitting shall be provided for each building
lateral at a readily accessible location, preferably just inside the
basement wall. The fitting shall contain a forty-five-degree branch
with removable plug or test tee, and so positioned that sewer cleaning
equipment can be inserted therein to clean the building lateral.
B. The cleanout diameter shall be no less than the building lateral
diameter.
All costs associated with the provisions of this article shall
be borne by the property owner unless specifically stated or agreed
to be a cost borne by the Village. The property owner shall indemnify
the Village from any loss or damage that may be directly or indirectly
occasioned by the installation of the building and street laterals,
and connections and appurtenances.
